the book is amazing

This is an amazing book. Full of information and at the same time so easy to read. The description of the holy city is so alive, you can actually see and smell the market at the old city, the Jasmine, the spices etc. , the temples, the churches and the mosques, the history of the city and its importance for the Jews, the Christians and the Moslems. There are a lot of books on Jerusalem. None is as amazing as this book. Just read it.
